why write?

I have to write what I hear in my head, what I dream in my sleep, what my bones ache to express.

My poems tell stories of strength, love, regret, disobedience, loss, hope, redemption, and whatever whispers.

—Cindy B. Stevens

mandarin orange and whisky


Here’s the last two lines from “mandarin orange and whisky”, a new poem I’ll read tonight @KingStreetBar open mic:

but I crave leather and black pepper
my mandarin orange wants some whisky
